Summary: Predicted to enable heme transmembrane transporter activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in heme metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of immune effector process; positive regulation of type II interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human HPX (hemopexin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Data suggest that apo-hemopexin isolated from plasma exchibits low endogenous levels of tyrosine nitration in the peptide YYCFQGNQFLR in the heme-binding site of human hemopexin, which was similarly nitrated in rabbit and rat hemopexins; heme binding by hemopexin declined as tyrosine nitration proceeded in vitro.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
